Drobo Problems with Vista 64

I've had two problems with my Drobo/Droboshare combo using Vista 64 that seem to be unique to Vista 64. I am discussing them on the Drobospace forum here:

Can't Delete DroboShare Folders with Files: Drobo Space

but I thought if any of you are using Drobo and especially Droboshare on Vista 64, I was wondering if you have the same problems, and if you have solutions.

The two problems are:
  1. Inability to delete directories on the droboshared Drobo when the directory contains files or subdirectories. Note, if I access my Drobo via Droboshare with my XP laptop, or any other PC, I can delete the same directories that I cannot with Vista 64. The tech guys have been working on this issue at Data Robotics for at least a week. No solution yet.
  2. The time to access directories on the Drobo through Droboshare through Vista 64 can be VERY slow – sometimes Windows Explorer will, go pale, sit and spit for upwards of 40 seconds or more before returning the data.
I have a support ticket in for the first with Data Robotics (the Drobo manufacturer). They have acknowledged it is a problem and are working on it.
